The IISPV in collaboration with the URV are determined to boost a proactive and dynamic EU Projects Unit that will focus on assisting the researchers to participate to International funding programs, mainly Horizon 2020 and other international calls. The ambitious objectives of this unit will be agreed each year with the Director of the IISPV and with the Vicerector for Research of the URV and will expand the participation of both institutions at several international programs. As consequence, we expect to substantially increase not only the amount of funding for research received but the attraction of highly qualified researchers to our region, by attracting talent programs such as MSCA-IF.

Project ideas can be, for instance, generated within the Research Community, as a follow-up of contract research activities or by connecting innovative results to external partnerships, leveraging on the broad collaboration network of the IISPV/URV.
The candidate will work with a high grade of autonomy and in close collaboration with the Internationalization Unit and the management committee of the IISPV and with the Vicerectorate for Research of the URV.
The role requires someone who can critically review project concepts, identify bottlenecks and barriers as well as the necessary activities and resources to draft a sound and innovative research programme which convincingly demonstrates the potential to generate a socio-economic impact.
